Many treat dispensers are loved by the …
We Bengal cats are often misunderstood because of how our breed was named. Most of the time, when humans hear “Bengal cat” some sort of wild animal comes to mind. Some even think we’re not supposed to be kept as indoor pets, let alone be allowed to go near children, because of the fact that …
